Nope, it’s not snow! A giant foam BLOB is taking over California
To look at the photos emerging from California right now, you would be forgiven for thinking that the sunny state is experiencing its first festive snowfall.
But, no, that’s not snow that’s taking over Santa Clara; it’s actually a giant foam blob!

According to reports, a fire suppression system at a hanger in San Jose International Airport malfunctioned yesterday, leading to the release of THOUSANDS of gallons of fire retardant foam.
After making its way over the 60-foot high hangar, the foam began filling the streets – and it’s just about the most bizarre sight filling our timelines today.
Speaking to CNN, one local described the magical scene: “It looked like snow, but as you got closer, it looked like a bubble bath gone terribly wrong.”
Meanwhile, it's a 'foamy day' in #SantaClara, #California.

Needless to say, there have been some truly hilarious responses over on Twitter.
“When you use dish soap instead of dish-washing soap in the dishwasher,” tweeted one amused local.

Elsewhere, another wrote: “This apocalypse is weird as hell!”
Given how dramatic the last few weeks have been, maybe this is a sign that we all need to chillax and have a little fun…in the foam.
